“At any
point, Pete, Grant, Chris, Brayden and Steve can be in there,” Campbell
said. “We’ve got five solid guys. Especially early in the year, you don’t
win or lose with just one guy. We try to split people up as much as we can.

“I don’t have
any qualms about any of those five kids throwing.”

Offensively, the Trojans get a
boost with the return of catcher Brett Roeske (.381, 15 RBI’s), shortstop
Tommy Benson (.242) and second baseman Logan Lawson (.375).

“We have to
replace a lot,” Campbell said. “Our entire outfield is gone. Tommy has to
move to shortstop from second and we’ll be new at third. That’s a lot of
runs and defense to replace.”

Peterson and Torres will see time
at first base depending on who is pitching that day, while Brunt or Chris
VanEekeren will man third base duties.

“Outfield
spots are still up in the air,” Campbell said. “We’ve got several kids that
are fighting for spots out there. The kids are smart enough to know that’s
where the openings are.”

The Trojans will also have speed on
the bases that should provide a needed offensive punch.

“Tyler Nelson
is the fastest kid in the program,” Campbell said. “Patrick Sosby didn’t
play a lot last year, but runs really well. Benson really runs well and so
does Logan.”
